Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs) : Operational Guidelines
PREFACE
Post COVID-19, Hon’ble Prime Minister has given clarion call for “AatmaNirbhar Bharat” to promote economic activities. Aligned with this vision, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has initiated Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs) as a pro-poor and significant step for urban migrants/ poor. It will be run under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana - Urban (PMAY -U). This initiative is being taken up for the first time in the country to improve their living conditions and obviate them from staying in slums, informal settlements or peri-urban areas.
ARHCs aim at creating vibrant, sustainable and inclusive affordable rental housing avenues for urban migrants/ poor by ‘aggregation of their demand at a given site’. These ARHCs will provide them dignified living with all civic amenities in proximity to their workplace by: 1. Utilizing existing Government funded vacant houses in cities by converting them into ARHCs under Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode or by Public agencies as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme,
2. Construction, Operation and Maintenance of Affordable Rental Housing Complexes by Public/ Private Entities on their own available vacant land as a Central Sector Scheme.

1. CONTEXT
1.1 COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in reverse migration of workers/ poor in the country. Urban migrants/ poor consisting of workers in manufacturing industries, domestic/ commercial establishments, health sector, service providers, hospitality industry, construction or other such sectors play an important role in urban economy. They come from rural areas or small towns for seeking better employment opportunities in urban areas. In order to maximize savings, they often compromise with living conditions to send remittances to families left behind at their native places. Usually, they live in slums, informal/ unauthorized colonies or peri-urban areas to save on high rental charges. They spend lot of time on roads by walking/ cycling to workplaces, risking their lives to cut on expenses. It also causes drudgery/ anxiety/ psychological breakdown and health problems because they compromise on rest, recuperation and hygiene conditions. Provision of rental housing options closer to workplace will improve their productivity. Therefore, providing ease of living through access to dignified affordable housing close to their workplace is an imperative.
1.2 Housing being one of the basic necessities of life and the same is also espoused in Directive Principles of State Policy enshrined in Constitution of India. A large proportion of urban migrants/ poor from all categories may already have a house or own a piece of land in their respective place of domicile. They may not be interested in ownership housing in urban areas and generally look for affordable rental accommodation to save on expenses. The affordable rental housing will promote inclusive urban development and prevent growth of slums.
1.3 Government of India aims to promote economic activities through the vision of “AatmaNirbhar Bharat”. In line with the vision of Self-reliant India, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) after consultation with concerned Central Ministries/Departments, States/UTs and other stakeholders from Private/ Public Sector has launched ARHCs scheme for urban migrants/ poor as a sub-scheme under PMAY (U). This will promote Private/ Public Entities to Construct, Operate and Maintain rental housing complexes for urban migrants/ poor.
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JnNURM) and Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) were implemented from 2005- 2014 to provide pucca houses to slum dwellers on ownership basis. In these schemes, a total of 13.83 lakh houses were sanctioned, of which 12.24 lakh have been completed till date. After all efforts to allot remaining houses to eligible beneficiaries, around 1.08 lakh houses under JnNURM/ RAY are still vacant in 159 cities which are potentially available for affordable rental houses for urban migrants/ poor presently.
15
Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs) : Operational Guidelines
2.2 A large portion of available vacant land is lying unutilized with Industries, Trade Associations, Manufacturing Companies, Educational/ Health Institutions, Development Authorities, Housing Boards, Central/ State Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and other such Entities. While finding suitable land in the city near centres where migrants work/ study is a challenge, Entities who own huge lands have an opportunity for construction of ARHCs. However, certain restrictions posed under local planning and Development Control Regulations (DCR) do not permit them to utilize available vacant land for offering affordable housing facilities to migrants/ poor. There is a need to create an ecosystem with appropriate policy initiatives by Government of India (GoI), States/UTs/Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/Parastatals through enabling suitable provisions and incentives to utilize available potential.
3. PRINCIPLES AND OBJECTIVES
i. To address the vision of ‘AatmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’ significantly by creating a sustainable ecosystem of affordable rental housing solutions for urban migrants/ poor.
ii. To achieve overall objective of “Housing for All” encompassing the need of affordable rental housing for urban migrants/ poor. ARHCs will provide them dignified living with necessary civic amenities near their place of work.
iii. To create a conducive environment by incentivizing Public/ Private Entities to leverage investment for creating affordable rental housing stock to take care of their own requirements for workforce and also cater to neighboring areas, if they have available vacant land.
4. COVERAGE AND DURATION
i. ARHCs will be implemented in all Statutory Towns as per Census 2011 and Towns notified subsequently, Notified Planning Areas and areas of Development/ Special Area Development/ Industrial Development Authorities. States/UTs may consider any project as ARHCs in any other areas after due notification.
ii. Projects under ARHCs will be applicable for consideration and funding till PMAY (U) Mission period i.e. March 2022.
iii. Projects approved during the Mission period will continue for another 18 months to enable fund release and completion of projects.
5. TARGET BENEFICIARIES
i. Beneficiaries for ARHCs will be from Economically Weaker Section (EWS)/ Low Income Group (LIG) who are urban migrants/poor. They include labour, urban poor (street vendors, rickshaw pullers, other service providers etc.),
16
Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India
industrial workers, and migrants working with market / trade associations, educational / health institutions, hospitality sector, long term tourists / visitors, students or any other persons of such category.
ii. Preference under the Scheme shall be given to persons belonging to Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes/Other Backward Classes, Widows and working Women, Divyang, Minorities, subject to beneficiaries being from EWS/LIG segments as provisioned by the Government.
6. STRATEGY AND APPROACH
This scheme shall follow a 3-E Strategy for implementation of ARHCs by adopting effective and efficient mechanisms as illustrated below:
The approach for implementing ARHCs has been designed in two models which will address the issue of affordable rental housing for urban migrants/ poor through private/public bodies. The models of ARHCs are presented below:

Model - 1 Model - 2
17
Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs) : Operational Guidelines
A. Model -1: Converting existing Government funded vacant houses in cities into ARHCs through Concession Agreement for 25 years.
i. Government funded houses constructed under JnNURM and RAY for slum dwellers are on ownership basis; however, some of them are lying still vacant and unutilized. To make them livable for rental purposes for migrants/poor, further repair/retrofitting along with necessary civic infrastructure facilities may be required.
ii. Concessionaire will Repair/Retrofit, Develop, Operate and Transfer (RDOT) ARHCs to ULBs after completion of contract period.
iii. Concessionaire will Repair/Retrofit buildings and ensure that all civic infrastructure gaps like water, sewer/ septage, sanitation, internal road etc. are addressed to make it livable. Thereafter, these will be Developed as ARHCs and Operated for concession period of 25 years and Transfer these complexes in livable condition to ULBs after completion of contract period.
iv. Necessary Social Infrastructure (e.g. health centres, anganwadi, creche, community centres etc.) and Neighbourhood Commercial facilities (e.g. shops, grocery store, medical shops, milk booths, ATM etc.) within the campus may also be developed by Concessionaire as per the requirement of States/UTs/ULBs.
v. Project design may include innovative systems for rainwater harvesting, waste management including waste water treatment, renewable resources with special focus on solar energy.
vi. Initial affordable rent of ARHCs will be fixed by the local authority based on a local survey prior to the issuance of Request for Proposal (RFP) by ULBs. Subsequently, rent will be enhanced biennially by 8%, subject to maximum increase of 20% in aggregate, over a period of 5 years, effective from the date of signing the contract. Same mechanism shall be followed over the entire concession period i.e. 25 years.
vii. Concessionaire and Tenants (including institutions) will sign a rent agreement abiding to applicable rules and regulations. Tenants will abide by the contract terms and vacate premises without any dispute. In the event that Tenant is found indulging in any unlawful activities & fails to abide to terms and conditions of rent agreement, Concessionaire will have eviction rights during the contract period and his decision will be considered as final.
viii. Concessionaire will be selected through a transparent process by ULBs. While bidding, affordable rental amount and period of concession shall be considered as fixed parameters and selection of Concessionaire will be made on the basis of bidder offering maximum positive premium to ULBs. In case of negative premium, bidder requiring lowest negative premium will be selected and will be eligible for Viability Gap Funding (VGF).
ix. In case, Concessionaire offers positive premium, it will be shared with the ULBs as per the terms & conditions of RFP by respective ULB/State/UT.
18
Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, Government of India
x. Consortium will be permissible through partnering with other agencies for participating in the tender process, project financing, management, implementation and operation of ARHCs.
xi. In case of VGF, States/UTs/ ULBs may utilize funds already released as Central Assistance under JnNURM and RAY along with corresponding State/UT share. If additional funds are required for VGF, it may be borne by States/UTs/ULBs from their own resources.
xii. Concessionaire may tie up with Aggregator(s) to rent out houses.
xiii. After completion of contract period i.e. 25 years, Concessionaire will hand over ARHCs to ULB. Thereafter, ULB may restart next cycle of concession agreement like earlier or operate complexes on their own.
xiv. In order to encourage proactive participation from public/private Entities, following incentives have been proposed for Concessionaire through Government of India:a. Exemption of Income Tax on any profits and gains derived from operation of
ARHCs on similar lines as that of ‘Affordable Housing’ under section 80-IBA of Income Tax Act, 1961.
b. Exemption of GST on any profits and gains derived from operation of ARHCs, at par with rental services of residential premises, vide Notification number 12 of 2017- Central Tax (Rate) dated 28th June 2017.
c. Project finance/loan at lower interest rate through concessional window under Affordable Housing Fund (AHF) by Housing Finance Companies (HFCs) and Priority Sector Lending (PSL) by Commercials Banks, upon inclusion of ARHCs in Harmonized Master List (HML) on the same lines of ‘Affordable Housing’.
xv. Additionally, following benefits to Concessionaire have been proposed through States/UTs/ULBs/Parastatals: a. States/UTs/ULBs/Parastatals shall follow single window system for approval

Illustrative models of financial viability analysis of ARHCs
Model-1 Utilizing Existing Government Funded Vacant Houses
1. Feasibility analysis of 7 cities from different regions has been carried out for utilizing these Government funded vacant houses as ARHCs.
2. Information was sought from the States/ UTs on per unit estimated amount for repair/ retrofit to make these houses livable; and prevailing rent.
3. The financial viability has been calculated on the basis of following fixed parameters:i. No. of houses available for rentii. Cost of repair/ retrofit/ develop for each house/ complexiii. Annual rent collection potential @ 90% occupancyiv. Cost of annual major O&M charges as an expenditure
4. Considering these fixed parameters and all other expenses, it is estimated that the Entity will recover the investment made in such projects within the period of 6 to 9 years on an average. However, these projections are illustrative and may vary marginally, depending upon the location and project size.
5. After recovering the investments, profit made by the Entity through ARHCs, will be shared between Entity and concerned ULBs/ Parastatals as per concession agreement.
6. An illustrative calculation sheet to derive the Financial Viability of sample cities is placed below:

Affordable Rental Housing Complexes (ARHCs) : Operational Guidelines
Model-2: Incentivising the Public/ Private bodies (referred as Entities hereinafter) to construct, operate and maintain the ARHCs on their own available vacant land
1. ARHCs are to be constructed by Entities on their own available vacant land and operated for a period of 25 years, excluding construction period of 18 months. For example, if construction starts in July, 2020 and ends at December, 2021, with construction period of 18 months, the ARHCs will be available for rent for 25 years with effect from January, 2022.
2. Assuming an additional FAR/ FSI of 50% over and above the existing FAR/ FSI of 1.5, the composition with DUs and Dormitory Beds in the ratio of 40:60 of total built up areas of ARHC, has been worked out on 1 Hectare of land with following calculations: I. 231 Dwelling Units (approx. 30 sqm carpet area each)II. 868 Dormitory Beds (approx. 10 sqm carpet area each)III. 2,250 sqm of Commercial Area
3. Further, it is assumed that land offered by the Entity will be considered as Equity. Construction cost after reducing TIG (10% of construction cost) has been assumed as loan from Bank or HFC under concessional window at average interest rate @ 8% per annum with moratorium of 18 months and repayment period of 20 years.
4. Assuming construction cost as Rs. 38.23 crore (Rs. 1600/sq. ft.), total project cost has been arrived at Rs. 57.47 crore with loan from Bank/HFC of Rs. 41.60 crore and TIG as Rs. 3.12 crore. Based on occupancy rate of 90%, average monthly inflow has been worked out to be Rs. 1.36 crore for a period of 25 years, which includes residual building value at 60% of the construction cost and land value after 25 years Rs. 50.97 crore at 4 times of initial land cost. These projections are illustrative and may vary, depending upon the location and project size.
5. Starting Rent for DU at Rs. 6,000 per month and dormitory bed at Rs. 3,000 per month and commercial area at Rs. 1,300 per sqm with 8%, 8% and 10% increase respectively after every 2 years, has been assumed.
6. Water, Electricity, House/ Property Tax and other user maintenance charges shall be paid by the occupants on actual basis. However, major repairs and maintenance expenses have been assumed at 4% of construction cost under project period expenses.
7. Average monthly surplus generated for the Entity works out to be Rs. 1.03 crore (after deducting Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) (Rs. 0.35 crore), Administration, Management and Insurance Expenses (Rs. 0.02 crore), Major Repairs and Maintenance Expenses (Rs. 0.01 crore) and Risk Fund (Rs. 0.02 crore), assuming that there is no GST and Income Tax on Project revenue.
8. Assuming that Risk Fund of Rs. 6.38 crore at 2% of rental income, Administration, Management & Insurance expenses Rs. 6.38 crore at 2% of rental income, and major Repairs and Maintenance expenses of Rs. 1.53 crore at 2% of total construction cost; Average Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) comes out to be 2.71 (During the loan repayment tenure) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 14.67%, which includes
